Bilateral Transfer of Learning


The bilateral transfer of learning is the transference of physical performance
learned by one side of the body to the opposite side of the body.

For instance, once a person has learned to shoot a basketball with their
right hand it is not difficult to transfer that learning to the left hand.

This transfer of learning is made possible by the two-way information traffic


that exists through the corpus callosum, the band of fibers in the brain that
allows the two hemispheres to communicate and transfer information.

A useful and helpful application is that following brain damage some skills
and knowledge can be transferred from one area of the brain to another.

Bilateral Transfer of Learning


learning

n. the acquisition of novel information, behaviors, or abilities after practice,


observation, or other experiences, as evidenced by change in behavior,
knowledge, or brain function.

Learning involves consciously or non-consciously attending to relevant


aspects of incoming information, mentally organizing the information into a
coherent cognitive representation, and integrating it with relevant existing
knowledge activated from long-term memory.

Bilateral Transfer of Learning


When motor learning is accomplished with one limb, the ability to perform
the same task with the untrained limb improves.

The possibility of transfer of a motor skill from one hand to the other,
performing repetitive movements, is called bilateral transfer (BT) or cross-
limb transfer. Click to add text

Bilateral Transfer of Learning


The neural mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not fully clear.

There are three main models explaining it:

the first model is the ‘callosal access’ which proposes that the motor ability
is generated in the dominant hemisphere and then reached by the opposite
one through the corpus callosum to facilitate task execution with the
untrained limb.

The second one is the proficiency model: the motor programes are created
and stored in the opposite hemisphere to the hand being trained.

The third is the so-called cross activation hypothesis, based on the


evidence that performing a repetitive unilateral task generates cortical
activity both contralateral and ipsilateral to the trained limb. 6
